I'm back! (I hope!) I have my hands full around home, and I haven't had much of a chance to post for awhile now. I just finished a song that I actually wrote about 4 months ago. With all we have gone through for the past 3 1/2 years, I am staying close to my roots. It is where my heart is (and always has been, truthfully.) This is another worship song, called Secret Place. The lyrics speak for themselves. The piano and guitar part are RealTracks. {I'm sorry I have misplaces the BB file that listed what parts they are.) I felt this one needed a lot of (emotive) orchestration so I used Vienna Strings and Berlin Orchestra Brass and Woodwinds for that. I got Rachel to add some harmonies on one of the choruses.

I hope you enjoy this one. Comments welcome.

BTW, just want to share one thing that has really come home to me over the past 3 years... Treasure each day you have with the ones you love. Don't sweat the small things (or the big things for that matter!) Remember to cast all your cares on Him, for He cares for you...

In the secret place, I have found my rest
It's where I find the path of righteousness
Where hope abounds and my heart says yes
In the secret place, I have found my rest

In the secret place, I can clearly see
I see Your meekness and your majesty
I'm overwhelmed by Your love for me
In the secret place, I can clearly see

For You, oh Lord are my refuge
You, oh Lord are my fortress
For You, oh Lord are my God in whom I trust
In the secret place, I have found my rest

For You, oh Lord are my refuge
You, oh Lord are my fortress
For You, oh Lord are my God in whom I trust
In the secret place, I can clearly see

In the secret place, I have found my rest
It's where I find the path of righteousness
Where hope abounds and my heart says yes
In the secret place, I have found my rest
